This thread is great.....Andy....you sound like Ralph going on about Uli Jon Roth....
For me....my first rock record was Pyromania - Def Lep that i used to steal from my sister....before that it was Men at Work and REO Speedwagon....
Wasn't until around '85 or so when i was grounded for having a piss up at my house while my parents were away (i was 15 at the time) and there i sat....arms crossed ....on the couch....Saturday night.....when Iron Maiden Live After Death came on M-TV.....That was it for me....i proceeded to get a job.....buy a bass....buy the entire Maiden collection and rush home after school so i could play along with all of that stuff....then it was Rush - Moving Pictures and i was off on another jag of learning....
Used to go down to the Rockit Club and see Todd and Ralph play gigs in Eyewitness and i thought...."wow....this is how you should do it...."
So see.....alchohol IS good for something after all....
